EDIÇÃO BEBÊ-DIABO DO ABC
"Durante um parto incrivelmente fantástico e cheio de mistérios, correria e pânico por parte de enfermeiras e médicos, uma senhora deu a luz num hospital de São Bernardo do Campo a uma estranha criatura, com aparência sobrenatural, que tem todas as características do diabo, em carne e osso. O bebezinho, que já nasceu falando e ameaçou sua mãe de morte, tem o corpo totalmente cheio de pelos, dois chifres pontiagudos e um rabo de aproximadamente cinco centímetros, além do olhar feroz, que causa medo e arrepios."

My favourite is when people try to shoehorn Toby into the nihilist category.
Maybe burgerpeople have been broken by the constant barrage of evangelism and fundamentalism. Any Christian who appears as anything but a monster is assumed to be something else.

The most similar language to German is surely Dutch. That said, learning similar languages at the same time makes one mix up vocabulary a lot, so…

it'd like be learning to draw and then never drawing, im a troid and most russians hate them, not to mention it is illegal there

I'm looking for a language with little to memorize outside of the phonology of the word, this means no uninferable gender, uninferable declination, or non-phonetic scripts. I'd like there to be relatively few non-Western European loan words. I'd like for it to be agglutinate, or isolating, but not fusional as this makes forms difficult to determine. I love when words and phrases are built up from consistent morphemes!

I've been trying to learn any foreign language for years, but every time I hit a road block, and it all falls down shortly after. I sort of think my brain just isn't configured to retain another language that I don't have a full mastery of. I even tried glorious Hawaiian but failed once I hit the numbers, and dates for unknown reasons, and after which, even while doing word flashcards, I eventually lost much of my active recall.

Anyway I'm trying to select what to try next, I'm considering: Chinese (pinyin), Turkic Languages, Uralic Languages, and Korean at the minimum along with anything else that might fit the criteria. Mostly just a vent, but if you've got anything for me I'd be happy to hear!

Is learning anatomy really neccesary for an artstyle that doesn't follow the rules of anatomy?

>>5782
A lot of styles that don't look very anatomically correct are still working with anatomy as a guide.
A rule being broken is still a rule being acknowledged, if that makes any sense.

>>5783
Aww, damn it. Anatomy seems really hard, it seems like it would take me years just to get decent at it, and only then will I be able to draw in the style I want. I don't even know where I would begin to learn anatomy.

>>5791
I mean it can be gradiential: the more you know of anatomy, the more you can draw from that experience to fill the gaps like >>5743 said.
I'd say the pixiv sensei couse covers the anatomy you'll want for general purpose stuff pretty quickly:

So Master of Earth was a youtube channel from the early to mid 2010s making videos about his religion and spirtuality (which seems to be this sort of blend of Zen Buddhism and Pantheism of some sort) and other things like chem trails, aliens and alternative medicine (kind of).

Contemporary fashion is terrible. The irony is us Millennials dressed like shit and yes, scene was so fucking bad it killed Rock Music, but in general if you saw a Millennial dress in some counter-culture fashion, it actually meant something, you could go up to them and talk about bands in that scene, find out where gigs and parties were etc. Made plenty of friends back in the day simply by doing this.
Zoomers technically know how to dress better (you aren't called a faggot metrosexual for having a fitted shirt now lmao) but their fits are nothing but LARPs, they cycle through fashion trends so fucking fast that we're back to… 2016 wtf? if a Zoomer woman is wearing goth fashion, can you actually go up to her and talk about Sisters of Mercy or VNV Nation and find out where parties are or whatever?

Cope there were always retarded trends. "Fast fashion" was invented to denigrate superior socialist commodity production in China for efficiently meeting demand.

>By posting in this thread, you recognise that Trumpists™ control the mainstream Westerner pop music industry and that Eurovision should be reverted to it's previous system as it was before 2023 and you denounce the conformity that terrorises society

I was SHOCKED with how much better Halo 2 is compared with the first one, and I was SHOCKED once again with the generational leap on Halo 3.

also l4d is so much better than l4d2. i dont know why they gave l4d2 that weird shiny cartoon style, when l4d's graphics already felt so cozy

There isn't really a franchise where I like every game. Quake 1 is my favorite 90's FPS, with HL after it. Then after the 90s I can't even tell, I do like the campaign in TimeSplitters 3, Doom 3 was actually fun to me as well.

The Citadel, I just like the gunplay and atmosphere.

>>45862
The first one was really good. I got the sequel, haven't played it yet, but I will probably turn the pressing extra button to reload shit off. I just not into guns like that to enjoy such features.

>>45863
The extra buttons to reload is actually great when you get used to it, its not so complicated and it makes the game SO satisfying with some of the weapons like the whalegun. I recommend sticking with it.

As the rule of capital in the digital age becomes increasingly concealed, and as life dimensions such as education, health, and time have all been reduced to arenas of value extraction, this work, rooted in Marxist political economy, breaks free from the traditional analytical framework centered on "ownership of means of production" and puts forward a groundbreaking core thesis—contemporary capital has completed an ascended rule from "possessing things" to "colonizing life," with its core object of domination shifting from "means of production" to "the production and reproduction of labor power."

A distinctive highlight of this work lies in constructing a triadic dialectically linked framework of "Actual Control Capacity over the Means of Production—Production Integrity—Actual Control Capacity over the Production of Labor Power." It profoundly analyzes the alienated nature of the commercialization of labor power, reveals the core contradiction between the capitalist socialized large-scale production and the capitalist private control over labor power production, and provides a brand-new theoretical perspective for understanding the new forms of exploitation under digital capitalism. Meanwhile, centering on the core goal of "abolishing the commercialization of labor power," the work systematically outlines a two-stage emancipatory program of "political revolution + social revolution." Grounded in the specific practical context of nation-states while embracing the dimension of class solidarity from a global perspective, it closely integrates theoretical criticism with emancipatory paths, boasting both ideological depth and practical enlightenment.

>detect and correct errors
It's plausible that these are error correction mechanisms. At the minimum there's trouble in everyone of these mechanisms in that the power to utilize them effectively is consolidated in the hands of the few. So naturally those people with power make their voice heard loudest, they run and fund their candidates, they get the best lawyers, even running all the studies (though one has more faith in science than many of these), and certainly apply all the scientific knowledge to their advantage.

In the imperial context this is even worse, if by some miracle, the people are able to develop and assert values opposed to power, chances are you just get economically strangled or overthrown, or both. And to paint a different picture as usual Singapore or China presents an alternative where there is a curtailment of freedom of speech, democratic elections, and judicial review, leaving rightfully only science. At the end of the day what counts is power, and competency.

Karpathy is being a… well, I won't say the word. But he's sucking a lot lately. I do like that the AI– again, won't say the word. But the AI lets say evangelists are now explicitly just trying to create extremely aggressive malicious behavior on purpose. SV has driven it's hype cycle on promising mass cullings of human beings. In order to keep getting funding, they need to kill some people.

>>32428
They are intentionally trying to create some extremely harmful outcomes and discover purely malicious use cases for AI. They explicitly say this by the way. Treating it like a bioweapons lab or something.

Engineers trained the US will always immediately attempt use technology to maximally harm human beings. It's just a quirk of the culture there.

The hatred that US AI people seem to have for humans is unmatched. Complete contempt. They loathe everyone. Wenfeng of DeepSeek is totally different. Probably a result of decades of being immersed in “dark enlightenment” “rationalism” and outright eugenic fascism has totally infected everyone in SV. It’s insane how inhumanly evil they are.

I'll pick a card for each question
>Personality
4 of cups reversed. Maybe a person with a tendency to tell other people to smarten up and be more perceptive. The kind of person that notices when you ignore an opportunity or a new opening. This could be a good thing, many times in my life I only took an opportunity just because someone else pointed out that it was there at all.
She could also be someone with a tendency to ignore her own insights and emotional inner world.
Also this card is correlated to moon in cancer so she could be someone whose feelings are all about stability and having a strong sense of "family" and the reversal means that this is manifested inwards and very difficult to notice from the outside.
>about them
5 of cups. Likely someone that has lost a lot or has a strong feeling of loss.
>can they be realiable and trusted?
Death RX. Up til now it's all water cards, because Death is linked to scorpio, which in general makes me the vibe she's a very emotional person.
Having said that, Death is related to transformation, to change. Within the context of your question I find that very ambiguous, but a reversal makes me think she's prone to stagnation and can't be trusted when it comes to things that require flexibility or acting against one's habits.
>interests?
Hanged man reversed which feels fucking crazy to me. Hanged man is related to Pluto, the ruling planet of Scorpio (RULER OF THE DEATH) so this person is super charged with emotional energy like absolutely insanely so.
Now, the hanged man is all about insight from seeing things from a different perspective and preceeds transformation. What comes to mind right away given that this is a reversal is that she's a person that feels like other people don't understand her and that if they saw her from a different perspective they'd warm up to her. She may be interested in things that gives other people a sense of what kind of person she is. She may specifically like fiction that connects to her life's story or that closely matches her feelings, maybe desperate that other people will see the parallels.

What classes are represented in shows I've seen? Not necessarily shows I like–

Lumpen– Shameless
Proletarian-Malcolm in the Middle
Petit Bourgeois- Fawlty Towers
"Ruined" Bourgeois- Arrested Development, Schitt's Creek
Haute Bourgeois- White Lotus

Accurate? Any other shows which have an obvious class aspect?

Where's the proofs??? I feel like actual leftists are some of the most critical of lazy cashgrab media

If you're thinking of just being normie libs, that's a completely different group

the only praise ive seen for the fallout tv show is like if the RLM video on rogue one was sincere lol

This guy Is called nigel askey, and is apparently a legitimate historian. He published a paper debunking TIK's claim that the K/D ratio of the soviets during WW was 1/1.6, instead claiming that the soviets lost over 4 more times as many combatants as the Germansduring WW2. Here is his paper. I'm not a qualified historian and I dont have access to acrhives or time to research, so I can't debunk him.

http://www.operationbarbarossa.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Essay-alt-view-TIK-presentation.pdf

I checked out his website and alsthough he does seem to be knowledgeable, he makes certain ridiculous claims that the "Vicors write history" in WW2, and the allies covered up how technologically and tactically inferior they were to the germans.

>Also how is artillery counted?
When he says "gun artillery" and "tubes" he is referring to cannons & mortars. If you scroll down to the last paragraph he does a separate comparison for the MLRS' between the German Nebelwerfer and the Soviet Katyusha.
> Meaning the Germans were firing over 3x more than the Soviet forces, even though they had 2-2.5x fewer artillery. That sounds fucking ridiculous
The gist of the argument is that while the Germans did have less artillery weapons, they also had more artillery ammunition (due to a larger gunpowder industry) which allowed them to shoot more than the Soviets

>>20603
>they also had more artillery ammunition (due to a larger gunpowder industry) which allowed them to shoot more than the Soviets
Which is fucking bullshit, because the Soviets fired more shells over the war than the Germans, by a significant margin, and while logistics in the first 2 years of the war could account for it, Kursk was in the summer of '44 and the Soviets prepared those defensive lines for some time, the idea that they lacked the shells necessary is absurd, especially considering that the USSR had a reputation for their artillery usage and it having a significant impact on the initial start of Kursk especially.

Hello folks, I was hoping someone could give me some decent literature on the Babiy Yar massacre in English, I wish to send it to a friend for them to study. It's hard to find anything non-Russian on the subject that doesn't insert anti-communist drivel into it and unfortunately, unlike myself, she cannot read Russian. Help a comrade out.

>>12984
great post, anon

I have no idea about the exact numbers or ratio but the Russian meatgrinder tactic is world famous plus Stalin executed his top military leaders.

You can see this tactic in Ukraine today with a complete disregard for Russian losses.

Hello, transhumanisters with extreme CSA ptsd, how's the epstein file reveals been treating your heads? I'm gonna kick the bucket this year in a pretty spectacular way.

those are low end consultants. I think this is about high end "management" consulting.

That's how capitalism spreads knowledge between different companies

It's a combination of factors.
<money laundering
<scapegoating
<performance for shareholders
<performance for management (convincing yourself you're actually doing something)
<actually trying to trim the "fat" in the business
etc

How do you take it from a prepper LARP to a legitimate strategy and contingency plan? From what I understand, plenty of revolutionaries have had to do this through history to survive. It seems like a very important skill to have in the event that you need to evade fash or rapidly declining material conditions during the fall of capitalism.

Realistically, how do you accomplish this? Even in an extremely generous situation where you have your own land in the middle of nowhere, and have the money to buy supplies (clothing, repair equipment, tools) once in a while, it seems nigh-impossible in the modern era. Not only do you have to survive mother nature and construct and maintain reliable shetler and storage, you also have to somehow secure methods of maintaining gun supplies, food, clothing, information, etc. Most of this seems to demand either a lot of money or a lot of crime (which has its own issues with making the local proles hostile to you)

I'm interested in resources and methods of training survival skills (without getting myself killed like a retard).

Diesel Generator might be useful, milsurp is usually good.

Some of the comments are important or interesting to look at:
>Generator tech here, if possible you should avoid running your diesel generator under low loads for extended periods, this can lead to something called "wet stacking". A diesel engine needs to run under load in order to burn clean, under no load conditions you'll coke up the engine and shorten it's life. Simply put, you'll want to run your generator at a minumum 25% load whenever possible, and every so often you'll want to run it up to 100% for a few hours to burn off carbon and spooge buildup as well as verify function at rated capacity.
The MEP models had common issues with wet stacking. so run them around a 80% load for around 30mins-1hr at your yearly service date.
>Electrician here; pleased to see that you're adhering to code, and doing a neat, non-lashup job. Attention to detail saves MANY problems down the road. Next: Battery bank + Inverter. Two reasons: 1) initial switchover on power loss is marginally faster, especially if your generator is cold or the outage is a short one, and 2) (more important) You can load up your generator recharging the bank, and prevent carbon depositing in the cylinders - Need to periodically run a generator under heavy load to keep it clean. Downside of a bank + inverter is more cost and more maintenance. If you're NOT getting a bank, consider getting a dummy load that can artificially load up the generator.

>the 400 hertz are for radar systems, namely the SQS-36 Firefinder and ANTPQ-64 Sentinel. Those 10K generators have Yanmar engines and we would run them 24/7 and only shut them down for every 200 hours for oil changes. We had 2 per radar and would switch gens every 200 hours. Each generator would have 4000+ hours on them at the end of a deployment and they would go directly to Toby Hanna Army depot to get rebuilt or what we called a reset. I know those systems like the back of my hand and would by a surplus one in a heart beat.The internal tank is only good for about 8 hours of run time but you can run a line for an external tank.

This is one of the most schizo album covers i have ever seen. Also Their music, i cant tell what fucking ideology they believe in. other than hating the U.S. Government and hating Themselves.

Hating the U.S. government and hating yourself are the only real positions you should have.

Saint stallman is just really autistic in semantics

>>32464
Not even esr?

>>32470
why would he be in the files, in the large scheme of things he's some random from UPenn, RMS would be more likely to appear since he's from MIT. I just don't think that Linux was big on Epstein's interests, seem like he was more focused on AI and NLP, thus Marvin Minsky and Chomsky were huge Epstein pals.

>>32462
Probably anti-Indian sentiment as can be seen here: >>32458

>>32474
I don't even get why Stallman would say that. Microsoft developers are less than ten percent Indian.
